Things I noticed in London

1. Adverts in London Underground are way more humorous than most commercials over here. The most recent ad slogan for Green King India Pale Ale (or IPA) beer is the following:

"So much for British generosity. They've given us a sport no one understands, trains that don't run, and a beer we can't drink"

Honourable mention must go to the faction called "Elite Designers Against Ikea".

2a. Signs in London Underground:

"Drunk behaviour was the cause of 400 injuries and 1 fatality last year"
"Not minding the gap between station and train was the cause of 500 injuries and 5 fatalities"


So you're best off being drunk then!

Perhaps the London Underground should not pay so much attention to alcohol, and pay more to fix the gaps...

2b. Another sign in London Underground (one week after the London Tube attacks):

"Over 100 unattended bags were found this past week."

Suddenly a whole lot starts to make sense...
